We have a really special episode today, all our episodes are special, but we had some initial trouble with Zoom this week so we decided to record this one in person. Our guest, or in this case our host because we were at his house, is none other than the great Paul Cowan, who made some really amazing films, such as Westray, a film about a mining disaster in Eastern Canada.
It’s a long one today, but I really encourage you to stick through to the end, because once Paul gets going, he really has a lot of insight and some great stories from war zones, documenting the porn industry, and some really good advice for filmmakers in general. Come with us this week as we visit Paul Cowan, proof that we’re not lazy filmmakers.
